[Intro]
I never saw it as the start, it's more a change of heart
Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pot
Blowing off the dust in the room where I forgot
I laid my plans in solid rock

[Pre-Chorus]
Stepping through the door like a troubadour, whiling just an hour away
Looking at the trees on the roadside, feeling it's a holiday

[Chorus]
You and I should ride the coast and wind up in our favourite coats just miles away
Roll a number, write another song like Jimmy heard the day he caught the train

[Post-Chorus]
Oh lala, oh lala
Oh lala, oh lala

[Verse]
He sips another rum and coke and told a dirty joke
Walking like Groucho, sucking on a number 10
Rolling on the floor with the cigarette burns walked in
I'll miss the crush and I'm home again

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Stepping through the door with the night in store, whiling just an hour away
Step into the sky in the starbright, feeling it's a brighter day
[Chorus]
You and I should ride the coast and wind up in our favourite coats just miles away
Roll a number, write another song like Jimmy heard the day he caught the train

[Post-Chorus]
Oh lala, oh lala
Oh lala, oh lala

[Bridge]
You and I should ride the tracks and find ourselves just wading through tomorrow
And you and I, when we're coming down, we're only getting back
And you know I feel no sorrow
We've got the whole wide world

[Post-Chorus]
Oh lala, oh lala
Oh lala, oh lala

[Outro]
When you find that things are getting wild, don't you want days like these
When you find that things are getting wild, don't you want days like these
When you find that things are getting wild, don't you need days like these
When you find that things are getting wild, don't you want days like these
Ooh lala, ooh lala
